Socrates
Meets SartreThe Father of Philosophy Cross-Examines the Founder of Existentialism

Author:
Peter Kreeft

This
book is one of a series of Socratic explorations of some of the Great Books.
The books in this series are intended to be short, clear, and non-technical,
thus fully understandable by beginners. Through such Socratic dialogues, Peter
Kreeft introduces (or reviews) the basic questions in the fundamental divisions
of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, anthropology, ethics, logic, and method.

In
Socrates Meets Sartre, Kreeft takes the reader through the world of existentialist
philosophy, posing questions that challenge the concepts that Sartre proposed.
Based on an imaginary dialogue between Socrates and Sartre that takes place
in the afterlife, this profound and witty book makes an entertaining and informative
exploration of modern philosophy.
“Peter Kreeft’s work is: (1) unfailingly brilliant, (2) intellectually
agile, (3) astonishingly perspicacious, (4) gloriously orthodox, (5) Chestertonianly
aphoristic.”
-Thomas Howard
